Mix by Te
Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Xander/Oz/Devon
Submitted by: Dymphna
Rec ID: 00172
This would be the fic I would automatically recommend as *the* "Buffy" m/m slash fic. Flows into a scorching threesome before you even realize it, all to the scent of Oz's homegrown and the sound of obscure mix tapes. Stunning.
Post-Grad by Te

Pairing: Spike/Xander
Submitted by: marysia
Rec ID: 00187
Te is the best Buffy slash writer I've found. Post-Grad is long two part story with a few short vignettes attached. It includes bdsm stuff and I thought it was vey erotic.
Chocolatey Goodness by The Mad Poetess
Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Xander/Spike
Submitted by: Ulli
Rec ID: 00189
I think nobody can summarize this work in progress better than the author herself: ``"Xander. Spike. Chocolate. One neurotic human with dark eyes and no self-esteem, one psychotic vampire with bleached hair and no self-control, falling in love. And lust. And possibly vats of chocolate sauce... It's okay to laugh. It's meant to be funny. A healthy dose of angst as well, and enough pop culture to make even Joss blanch."``Just go and read it

Tara Incognita by HonorH
Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Willow/Tara
Submitted by: Angel_N
Rec ID: 00737
There aren't enough good Tara/Willow fics out there. Luckily, this is one of the very awesome few. Set after the Season 6 finale. A portal to the Wishverse has been opened, bringing a very familiar face along for the ride. The story has a great plot and all the Wishverse characters are handled believably. This is how they could have been. HonorH does a spectacular job of blending a grieving Scooby Gang, Willow and Tara, and action into a great 'lost episode'.
Small Fry by Mad Poetess and James Walkswithwind

Submitted by: Angel_N
Rec ID: 00738
Screamingly funny. While helping Giles unpack the latest shipment to the Magic Box, the Scoobies find a mystical object they shouldn't touch. They touch it. The characterizations are great and it's just plain fun to read. Be sure to click the 'Son of Small Fry' link at the end of the fic. The sequel is just as good.

Huge slashy story with love on a grand scale, humour (hello Sarky!Spike), bloodties and claiming, scary demons. Winds in and out of canon storylines, while retaining a character very much of its own. Wonderful story.

Sidelines by Eliade
Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Submitted by: lynx wings
Rec ID: 00817
Spike/Xander slash. Excellent author, but this story in particular is quite good. She does, however, have a very annoying webpage. You have to go in through the front door to get to any of her fanfiction. Fairly straightforward to navigate, though. Just click on "Buffy," scroll down past "Noir" and click on the link to "sidelines and other slash."

Rec ID: 00862
This story sears the reader to the core with it's unihibited portrayal of a realistic Angel giving Xander a new education on the reality of demon life. It delves deep into the minds of both main characters until the final coming together of one young slayerette and a 200+ vampire with a soul makes one melt and turn into a person-shaped pile of goo. Yummy goodness all around, with creativity to spare.

PG-13/R. A series of four stories: A soul-eating demon attacks in Sunnydale and then goes after Angel, making Xander and Angel realize there's something between them. But of course it's not that easy...
It's Xander POV, funny, romantic and it has a happy ending.

Xander's week starts with the unwanted press of vile vampire lips, as he and Spike try to avoid being eviscerated by a rampaging Swadhhyu demon. ("They don't eat prey that's mating.") So that was Monday. His week can only go up from there, right?
Quote: "I'm telling you, the universe is trying to set me up with Spike, and at no point recently did I sing, 'Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a death match'."
It's hilarious, really.

In irritation, Spike makes a wish that is overheard and granted by a vengeance demon. Unfortunately for Xander, he and Spike are plunged back in time to the 1800s, where Angelus is still the Scourge of Europe and Spike his beloved childe.

This is an excellent slavery fic. The author gives it an R rating, but I would push it more towards an NC-17. Its a WIP that I doubt will ever be finished, but with 15 chapters, there is plenty to enjoy.

One of my all-time favorites!

"Slayers abounded, and even with new innovations in training and technology, the Watchers Council struggled to cope with the decimation of its ranks wreaked by the Bringers. Willows sudden return offered Giles the chance to discover much-needed new recruits. Yet nothing quite prepared him for one Severus Snape."

Oh yes! Snape and Giles are a perfect combination that I did not even know I was craving. Snape being his usual snarky, unpleasant self and Giles ever-so-slowly opening him up. Love!
